Hi Nails,
I will try to answer you as best I can. We know that Jesus will never leave us or ever forsake us (Heb. 13:5-6). When you read the Bible and identify with the "bad" person is it because of past sin? If you have confessed those sins to Jesus and repented in your heart then you are forgiven of those sins, they are removed as far as the east is from the west, God remembers those sins no more (Jer. 31:34). But we do. Our unforgiveness towards ourselves can get in the way of a renewed relationship with God. We are commanded to forgive others. I also think that works for ourselves also. Once that sin is repented and forgiven walk in that forgiveness by faith. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9). When we feel our own unworthiness we can only be that much more grateful for what Jesus has done for us. If there is a trick used by the devil it is to constantly point to our unworthiness and use it against us. I think many of us go through that at one time or another, at least I have. Whenever you think of that unworthiness or particular sin(s) tell the devil "I am forgiven by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ". Romans 8:1-2 "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death." One of my favorite passages.

In Jesus,

Bob
